The non-brokered private placement was a combination of: (i) Non-Flow-Through shares (NFT) sold at a price of $1.11 each and Flow-Through shares (FT) sold at a price of $1.28 that will qualify as a flow-through share within the meaning of Subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).
The first and second tranche consisted of 3,767,567 NFT shares for gross proceeds of $4,181,999 and 1,810,629 FT shares for proceeds of $2,317,605 for an aggregate of $6,499,604.
The Company intends to use the proceeds for general operating expenses and exploration related programs on its properties located in the Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia.
The proceeds from the FT offering will be used for Canadian exploration expenses as such term is defined in paragraph (f) of the definition of Canadian exploration expense in Subsection 66.1(6) of the tax act, flow-through mining expenditures as defined in Subsection 127(9) of the tax act that will qualify as flow-through mining expenditures, and B.C. flow-through mining expenditures as defined in Subsection 4.721(1) of the Income Tax Act (British Columbia), which will be incurred on or before Dec. 31, 2025, and renounced with an effective date no later than Dec. 31, 2024.
